Di Centra Integration

22 Feb 2017

PhotoEntry is delighted to announce that full integration with DiCentra is now available. We have been collaborating with the author of the market-leading DiCentra software to enhance interoperability between the two products.

PhotoEntry and DiCentra are complementary systems that together can provide an integrated solution for managing and running photographic competitions. It is now possible for DiCentra to download Competitions, Entries and Images directly from PhotoEntry, and to upload scores back to PhotoEntry. Although you have always been able to do this manually, the whole process can now be automated.

Use of this integration requires an additional licence from Di Centra. Please refer to the DiCentra site for more information. No additional licence is required for PhotoEntry.

Multiple PhotoEntry Accounts

18 Oct 2016

It is now possible for a User to have multiple PhotoEntry accounts with different Organisations, but to use the same email address. It is also possible for two different Users to have PhotoEntry accounts with the same Organisation but with a shared email address.

Users now have a User ID and an Email Address. If the Email Address is left blank, the User ID must be a valid email address - all existing User accounts have been migrated to this format.

To specify a separate email address for a User: change their User ID to the new ID format (alphanumerics and spaces), and enter their email address in the Email Address field. User IDs must be unique throughout PhotoEntry, but the same email address can be associated with multiple User IDs.
